It’s Official: Welcome Matt Rhule

[Blue Howl]

I'm not surprised that Auburn is going to hire Freeze. They have always been about winning no matter how you have to bend or break the rules to do it. It will be interesting to see if Freeze really has reformed or not.

thank you. damn, some people are so freakin negative all the time

Others just during the regular season. I guess when you're a dog getting kicked all the time it's hard to let your guard down.

DON'T JUMP, MATT!!! DON'T JUMP!!!!

 

[EyeWilDyeRed]

Here's hoping for the best!

Waiting for my verdict ....

 

[Yep]

An 8-year contract huh. I think I was called a troll for mentioning the 8-year contract.

Just stop. This is a great day, no need to crap all over it.

Loved him on Gameday. He mentioned the good job Mickey is doing also. Called talking to Dr Tom and bucket list item. Good dude. Good coach. LFG GBR

It'll take time for people, to include me, to warm up to him but we all have to get behind coach Rhule because he is now our guy! I have a feeling this off season will seen a lot longer than usual. Watching the game clock countdown is doing too slow! Time to reset and make this 1972 all over again!

Here's how that conversation may go:
Matt: Honey, guess where we are going to spend the next 8 years of our lives together?!
Wife: Oh, gosh Matt, that makes me so excited!! You must mean The Bahamas?! Or maybe San Diego?! Or what about Vail?! You know how much I love skiing!!
Matt: Uh.....no, honey......Lincoln, Nebraska.
Wife: (long pause....)......I hope you buy a comfortable sofa for our new house there, because you are going to be sleeping on it for the next 8 years.

Mentioning Frost and Mickey is strategic. It shows respect to both men, the players that supported them, and the fans that also support them.

I believe he has a master’s degree in educational psychology…he knows what he is doing.

Nah you were called a troll for something completely different! Lol

I'll like it again.

If Rhule doesn't . . . I think Trev will in some way. Would find a way to get him on the admin staff related to recruiting or something.

But Rhule would be smart to keep Mickey, if they seem to gel. Keep a great recruiter and a bridge for some key players. Either way, I think Mickey will be around in some capacity.

that's assuming he would want some admin role, which I don't think he does. He's a coach and wants to coach, imo.

I liked that you liked it again!!

Whether or not this hire works out, Trev played this just about perfectly with regards to timing and buzz. Nebraska football front and center on Game Day right now is awesome.

At least we know, without a doubt, that we have the right AD! Now if he can do something about the men's basketball squad!
